FOOD SHORTAGE IN NORWAY

The food situation grows steadily
worse in Norway, The huge German
army of occupation (estimated at more
than 300,000 men) continues to requi-
sition meat, eggs and other foods, and
the Norwegian puppet-Nazis have first
pick, Shortage of meat has become
acute, particularly in Oslo where the
butcher shops are closed for the great
part of the week, Long lines of weary
housewives form in front of food
stores several hours before they open.
If luck is with them, they obtain half
a pound of chopped meat or a small
piece of sausage, The supply of flour
is rapidly decreasing, Bread is made
with so many ingredients that it tastes
like cardboard. Milk production is
down 23 per cent, Dairies report a 55
per cent decrease in the production of
butter,

“Accidents” have go often broken
power lines to German airports in
western Norway that the Nazis have
resorted to wholesale ing of com-
munities nearest the © uf sabbot-
age.

HUGE STORAGE BINS TO BE
BUILT AT HEAD OF LAKES

“All country elevator companies op.
erating in Western Canada have joined
in a plan for providing upwards of
50,000,000 bushels of temporary ter-
minal] storage space at the head of the
Great Lakes,” according to an an-
nouncement made by A.C, Reid, Presi-
dent of the North-West Line Elevator
Association, “United Grain Growers,
Pool and Line Elevator companies
have united in the plan to relieve the
congestion of wheat on the prairies.”

“Plans for the erection of the huge
storage units have adready been draft-
ed and materia] for construction is
now being: ordered, Preliminary work
of building the bins will be under way
almost immediately,” said Mr, Reid.

OVER 419,000 BUSHELS
GRAIN DELIVERED AT
CARBON UP TO MARCH 3

Local Elevators Have
Shipped Out 233,000 Bu.

Wheat delivered:to Carbon elevators
up to March 8rd, and since commence-
ment of this crop year in August, have
totalled 419,000 bushels, This delivery
has come from 30,701 acres in Carbon
district, including, of course, the hailed
area to the south, and when propor-
tionately averaged amounts to a little
over 13% bushels to the acre. The
wheat quota at Carbon is now 20 bu-
shels to the acre and local elevators
are fairly well filled, Total capacity
of Carbon elevators is 255,500 bushels,
and grain now in store is 227,000 bu-
Shels, leaving available storage space
of approximately 28,000 bushels,

The four Carbon elevators have
shipped out 233,000 bushels of grain
since last August, which is considered
fairly good under present conditions.

Taking wheat at 50 cents per bushel
over $200,000 has been put in circula-
tion alone from the above delivery, and
these figures do not take in the de-
liveries at Hesketh, Sharples, Entice
and Grainger, where considerable of
the trade comes into Carbon, So, after
all, we are not doing too badly from

of firearms without a permit, and it
is pointed out that in the event of
arms being put up for auction, the
seller, the auctioneer and the highest
bidder would be required to have such
permits, Persons with firearms to dis-
pose of should arrange to sell them
privately, after receiving a permit

FRENCH SOLDIER ON
OCCUPIED FRANCE

Le Travailleur, a weekly published
in Worcester, Massachusetts, prints
these words from a French soldier:
“I beg of you do not believe the lies
contained in our Press and on our ra-
dio which are either in the hands of
the Nazis or under their orders, Do
not let yourselves be moved by our
sufferings due to food restrictions.
Send nothing to France, Whatever you
send will reach our enemy, We shall
suffer all privations and this will be
our contribution to a British victory,
as treason took from us the means to
fight, Help the British Empire with
all your resources and all your given

appear for ever, The beast must be
killed, You will, I am sure, prevent
the realization of Hitler’s monstrous
dream of world domination and you
will contribute towards restoring to
France her independence an her hon-
or.”

THE WORLD OF WHEAT
REVIEWED WEEKLY BY
MAJOR H.G.L. STRANGE

The School Trustees of Saskatche-
wan recently held their annual convcn-
tion at Saskatoon, I was fortunate
enough to be present and I could not
help but notice the intense desire dis-
played by the hundreds of delegates,
both men and women, to do whatever
each could to advance the education
and the wellbeing of the young people
of Saskatchewan, This attitude seems
particularly commendable when we
realize that Schoo] Trustees give their
services without charge throughout
the year, and sometimes even donate
sums from their own pockets,

We are now all working in our
spare tiime to help our country in this
time of war, but the thought struck
me, as I looked at the earnest faces
of the delegates at Saskatoon, what a
fine thing it would be if each one of
us in peacetime would donate a few
hours a week to the service of Canada,
What a fine thing, too, 1 thought, it
would be if our Members of Parlia-
ment and our Legislatures would sim-
ilarly serve their country without any
charge, except for out-of-pocket ex-
penses,

I have often noted that those who
offer their spare time services to their
fellow-men without remuneration in-
variably are people of high character,
and certainly are inspired with noble

‘ | and patriotic ideals; in short they are

an example to all of us.

MR, VERNON KNOWLES

Who has been appointed publicity di-
rector of the joint campaign of Cana-
dian Legion, Knights of Columbus,
Salvation Army, Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A.,
and I1.0.D.E., to raise $5,500,000 in a
drive for funds for war purposes, to
commence March 24,

SIX WAR SERVICE
ORGANIZATIONS WILL
APPEAL FOR FUNDS

Six war service organizations which
ordinarily appeal to the public separ-
ately for funds have united in one
drive for $5,500,000 under the name of
“The Canadian War Services Fund”.
The campaign will open March 24th,
and will be the only national campaign
this year on behalf of the men in uni-
form.

Included in the campaign will be:
Canadian Legion, $916,100; Salvation
Army, $1,425,100; Y.M.C.A., $1,741,-
000; Y.W.C.A., $289,965; Knights of
Columbus $705,000; 1.0.D.E. $104,000.
This leaves a margin of $317,835 for
the expansion which the campaign
committee believes will be required by
Canada’s expanding war effort,

These organizations have united in
response to a growing public demand.
Tt is unthinkable that we should have
six or eight separate drives in time
of war, By uniting, the organizations
have removed the annoyance of num-
erous appeals, the duplication of ef-
fort and expense, For years business
men, labour unions and newspepers
have urged this step. Now the people
are getting what they have demanded.

Every cent of the net proceeds of
the campaign will go to make camp
life liveable for our men in uniform
and to carry on the home services of
certain of the organizations, They are
entitled to what recreations and com-
forts we can give them, As His Ex-
cellency the Earl of Athlone has said:
“The comforts we give them are the
evidence to them of the affection and
thoughtfulness of the folks at home.”

AUTO LICENSES READY FOR
DISTRIBUTION ON MARCH 24

Alberta’s new motor license plates
will be available during the last week
of March, E, Trowbridge, deputy pro-
vineial secretary announced last week,
In all likelihood the plates will be is-
sued for distribution on Monday, Mar,
24th,

The new 1941-42 license year opens
on April ist, and color combination
of the new plates will be white on

ALBERTA SELLS MORE COAL

Because the government of Canada
is to@ay placing restrictions on Cana-
dian citizens going to the United Sta-
tes for a holiday so as to curtail the
amount of Canadian funds being taken
out of the country, representatives are
being made by the mine owners of
Alberta to have Ontario householders
and industrial establishments use more
western coal and thus keep millions of
dollars in the country still needlessly
being sent across the line,

It is estimated that the coul reserves
of Alberta amount to 1,059,000,000
tons, comprising about 14 per cent of
the entire world’s supply and 72 per
cent of the British reserve, The total
production in Alberta during 1939 was
5,518,105 tons, The average number of
men employed below the ground was
5,517 and above ground 1,939,

There again was a substantial in-
crease in the tonnage shipped to On-
tario during the twelve months of
1940, This was caused by several fac-
tors including the increased price of
imported coals; by a realization on the
part of Ontario citizens that they can
help Great Britain win the war by
using Canadian-produced fuel and
thereby conserving Canada’s financial
resources, and also by reason of the
Dominion government’s policy of serv-

at military depots in Ontario.—Cana-

“SWASTIKA” CHANGES NAME
TO THAT OF “GAYFORD”"

J.L, Palethorpe, C.P.R, superintend-
ent for the Medicine Hat Division, has
announced that the siding on the Irri-
cana sub-division of the railway, far-
mcrly known as “Swastika” will be
named “Gayford” effective April 27.

The station was named after the
Indian good-luck sign before the pres.
ent Nazi party came to power in Geyr-
many,

It is presumed the name “Gayford”
was chosen to commemorate the name
of a young Bassano boy, Roy Gayford,
who lost his life in the present war
while serving with the Royal Air
Force over Britain,

The P

Can’t Happen Here?

If Britain were crushed and Canada conquered by Hitler's hordes of
ruthless ruffians, what would it mean to the people of this country? That
is a question which is pertinently posed and one which is deserving of some
thoughtful consideration if Canadians wish to remain masters in their own
household and captains of their souls.

The Canadian nation is girding itself and mustering all its resources of
men, materials and money to fight—against what and to fight for what?
To put it tersely, the people of this country are making sacrifices and be-
ing called upon to make still greater sacrifices to prevent having fastened
upon them Hitler's “new order’ and to preserve the right to continue to
enjoy the Canadian way of life.

And what is this “new order’? which Hitler seeks to thrust upon first

the people of Europe and, if and when he can get around to it, upon the |

people of this country, of this continent and ultimately upon the whole
world? What would it mean to the people of Canada, if they were forced
to live under the black shadow of this so-called “new order?”
* * * *
What It Means
For the manufacturer, the retailer and the businessman, it would mean
the sequestration of their businesses.
tinue to operate, some of them, but they would have to make or buy what

they were told to make or buy and in the quantities and at the prices de- |

termined by their masters. They would be told what to sell, how much to
sell and at prices set by their masters. Under national socialism, as inter-
preted by Hitler and his minions, the use of capital, the right to expand
or contract, methods of operation, wages to be paid and even the disposi-
tion of such meagre profits as might be permitted, would be determined
by the State. All capital would be subject to the direction of the State and
woe betide the business man who failed to bow to Hitlerian decrees and
dictates.

For the farmer it would spell enslavement, total and absolute. He}

would be told what to grow and what to raise and how much of it. The

price that he would receive for his produce would be set for him and he |
himself and his |

would be left with no more than sufficient to
family at the lowest possible subsistence level.

maintain
If the rulers took a fancy
to his holdings they would confiscate them and turn the family over to the
tender mercies of the Arctic wilderness; there to fend for themselves, or
press them into bonded servitude. That has happened in Czecho-Slovakia,
Poland and some of the other subjugated countries and “it could happen
here.”

For the artisan and the laborer, it would mean the abolition of the
right to sell his services in the best available market, loss of the right to
improve his earning power or his working conditions through collective
bargaining. Even the right to quit his job if he did not like it and seek
another would be gone. He would have to do what he was told, work the
number of hours he was directed and draw the amount of pay predetermined
for him—and that wage would be just about enough to make sure that his
family did not quite starve to death. That is what has happened already
in countries over which the swastika waves,

These are the things that would happen to capital and labor if Hitler
ruled the land. The State would be supreme, the individual a cipher and a
slave. From rules and regulations there would be no appeal and the re-
ward for opposition or even mild objection would be the internment camp
or the torture chamber and perhaps even death,

. . ’ .
A Supreme Consciousness

Truly a bleak outlook for a freedom-loving people, for a nation who
after all have been accustomed to doing pretty much as they liked, so long
as their actions are not injurious to the community at large.

Fortunately, there are indications that the people of Canada are be-
coming more and more conscious of the perils to which they are exposed
and to the realization that the only escape is an all-out effort in which every
man, woman and child participates, coupled with a growing appreciation
that victory must be won overseas if the menace is not to reach these
shores

This growing sense of responsibility was aptly expressed by a locomo-
tive fireman in Calgary who accompanied a cash contribution to the war
effort with the following declaration:

“When millions of men can offer their lives to their country, knowing
that some will pay with their lives, others will be maimed for life, it is as
little as we of Canada can do, is to subscribe to the interest-free loan of
the government, which not only helps the enlisted man, but also helps our-
selves,”

When every Canadian adopts the viewpoint that his utmost contribu-
tion, whether it be in the form of a loan to the government, prepayment
of taxes, gifts to war charities in cash, energy or time, is at the service
of his country, it will be appropriate to say, “It can't happen here.”

; Have Served Their Purpose

Promises Made To Norway Being
Cast Aside By Nazis

Nazi rule in Norway is taking off

its mask. The fair promises with

which it sought at first to make con-

quest palatable, and lessen opposi-

| Pose. Now it is admitted that Ger-
}man victory in the larger war will
not mean the restoration of Nor-
| wegian independence,
Quisling, the willing instrument of

| tion by the conquered, are being cast |
aside; they have served their pur-|

which Major }

aggression, has been promising his
dupes. Norway is to be a German
possession, part of the spoils of vic-
tory. The fortifications to keep it
so are already under construction, |

Quisling himself tries vainly to
sugar the pill. He has his oWn safety
to look out for, and unless he can
show some semblance of support
from his fellow-countrymen his use-
fulness to his German masters is fin-
ished. So he phrases the new edict)
as providing that Norwegian free-|
dom will be restored only “to the
greatest possible extent.” The quali-
fications will not go far. The pill
defies sugar coating.

Thus the Nazi technique is demon-
strated once more, It should be no
surprise; for it’ is thoroughly laid
down in “Mein Kampf,” supple-,
mented by scores of speeches from
Nazi leaders. Naziism never com-|
promises on the end it seeks. It
may vary the methods or the tempo
of their application, but the goal re-
mains unchanged. Pledges to a
prospective victim are as much
weapons as are the bombs and con-
centration camps with which he is
finally brought to servitude. The
means of subjection are immaterial,
so long as they are effective; only the
end counts.—New York Times, |

Anxious To Help
Eighty-Year-Old Welshman Is Again |
Repairing Ships |

Fred Grant retired from the ship-|

| again at his old job of repairing ves-
sels despite his 80 years.
| Old age sent him_into retirement
after 50 years in the yards and un-
| til a short time ago he was content|
to tend his flowers in the garden of
his Welsh home. One night he read
of a call for more skilled shipyard
workers. “I’m going back," he told}
his daughter. “There's a job of
work to do,”

So he rises every morning at 5:30,
catches the 7:00 a.m, train from his|
village station and at 7:30 is hard at
work adding to the clang of the
boiler makers’ hammers.

“IT couldn’t be idle while

Indiana Highway Department Uses
Glass Beads That Sparkle Un-
der Glare Of Headlight

The latest scientific approach to
the problem of night driving safety
made by the Indiana Highway de-
partment involves glass beads—mil-
lions of them.

The beads are tiny and round, and
when they are sown on freshly-
painted centre stripes that indicate
no-passing zones on the Hoosier
highways they become a galaxy of
winking, flashing gems under the
headlights of a car. Their sparkling
brilliance helps the motorist to stay
on the right side of the narrow stripe.

The highway department reports
the idea works like a charm and con-
struction workers are busy putting it
into effect on all the state’s high-
ways.

The department coats centre
stripes with a special binding paint, |
then applies the beads before it
dries, ;

Ordinarily, a gallon of paint and
six pounds of beads account for 300)
feet of stripe. Since the beads come
about 1,800,000 to the pound, roughly
185,000,000 of them are required to
lay a carpet of blinkers a distance
of a mile.

Escaped To England

A young French air mechanic who
said he was “fed up” with German|
domination armed himself with a
revolver, seized a passenger airplane
at an airdrome in occupied France
and flew it to England. Anti-air-
craft guns fired at him as he crossed

the coast, but he managed to land

long @s/ on a bumpy field at Tregantle, Corn-

wall.

Prayers alone will not avail. Faith and hope are
not enough. Today, British men and women,
grim-lipped, lion-hearted, are holding the gate
against the gray hordes of barbarism.

Stories Of Deeds Of Heroism
For Which Britishers Were

Awarded The

The story of Britain's heroes in
mufti goes on.

Latest chapter in the glorious tale
of “The Infantry of the Civilian
Line” was told in a recent supple-
ment to the official London Gazette.
These are examples of deeds which
won the George Medal and the
Civilian Division Medal of the Order
of the British Empire:

Crawling through crumbling tun-
nels towards trapped victims of
raids;

Darting ‘between blazing gas-hold-
ers to turn off red-hot valves with
blistered fingers;

Ignoring time bombs and falling)
high-explosive bombs to ease their
comrades.

Some of those nonored are “white |
collar” workers, some have left the
workshop bench for civil defence ser-
vice, some are just doing ordinary
jobs on the lines, in the sheds and
beside the gasometers. All have
shown high courage in the battle of
Britain.

Edward Nichols, superintendent of
the Liverpool police, and John Mee-|
han, a prison official, earned the
George Medal, and Frederick Bowyer,
prison’'s chief officer, the Civil O.B.E.
medal for rescuing prisoners when a
high explosive bomb severely dam-
aged a wing of Walton Prison, Liver-|
pool, containing four tiers of cells.
Gas and water were escaping and)
the electric light failed.

Supt. Nichols saved one prisoner
by constructing a platform of broken
steel girders and flat stones over his
head. More than three hours’ work
with picks, bars and sledge hammers
was necessary.

The rescue was effected by the
light of pocket lamps, with the dan-
ger of the roof and wall of the wing
collapsing in a gas-polluted atmos-
phere, amid flooding from fractured
water mains and with enemy aircraft
overhead.

Here are other extracts from the
long official story of heroism:

One tells of the thin man, whose |
great height enabled him to reach a’
trapped victim. He is Sgt. William!
Eigg of the Wallasey police, who |

wriggled through .an aperture 18)
inches square and, with his legs sus-
pended in mid-air, pas$e@ Out bricks

jured man. He receives the medal
of the O.B.E. Civil Division,

Sidney Goodwin, a Tottenham
stretcher-bearer, burrowed through
a passage under debris for 10 feet,’
reached & man Sheltering behind a
door and crawled backward with him)
as the tunnel, collapsed,

Semi-conscious from coal gas)
fumes with three of his party al-
ready suffering from gas-poisoning,
Henry Shimmings, superintendent of
Twickenham rescue party, ordered
his men to stand away, crawled
through a gas-laden hole and made a

eietermined effort to reach a trapped
woman.

He was dragged from the hole un-
conscious. When he recovered he
gave exact instructions about the
woman's position. This information,
led to her release half an hour later.
He was awarded the George Medal.

Red Propaganda |

Subversive Literature Found On
Eastern University Campus
Charges that Communist propa- |
ganda is being distributed at Queen's |
University, Kingston, were made by |
the Queen’s Journal, organ of the
university alma mater society, which |
referred to previous reports of the)
finding of subversive literature on|
the campus of the University of To-|
ronto. “Now it seems the same blot
is spreading over Queen's,” it de-

clared,

“The question is whether or not!
people still possess the right to print |
and distribute material which is)
definitely detrimental to the war)
effort and a threat to the unity which
we now need more than ever.” Prin- |
cipal Dr. R. C. Wallace of Queen's}
was quoted as saying: “We do not
want this sort of thing here,” and
the Journal advised students to re-|
port to the authorities when they}

find material of this sort. |

Using Moving Target

\
Story Explains How R.A.F. Bomb-
Aimers Acquire Their Skill

Royal Air Force bomb-aimers |
learn their job without bombs, drop-
ping imaginary high explosives from
the eight-foot gallery of a darkened
room on to a moving target flashed
on the floor by a motion picture pro-
jector.

The bomb-aimer sits in a compart-
ment giving him a@ clear view of the
floor below. The pilot sits behind
him while the instructor watches
from the side.

The floor is the screen on which is
thrown.a film taken from an airplane |
showing the ground as it appears
when fiying at about 10,000 feet, if
that is the height from which the at-
tack is to be made.

Slowly the ground slips away and
looking down from the gallery the
aimer gets a perfect illusion of fly-
ing.

The instructor points to a distant
part of the moving landscape, to an
objective to be bombed, and the
aimer then begins to guide the pilot |
as he would in the air, bringing the
plane over the target.

As he receives his instructions, the |
pilot shifts his controls, connected
with the projector, and the ground
slides a little to the right or left
while the aircraft appears to be
turning the opposite way.

When the aimer thinks he has the)
objective in his sight a sudden red |
flash in the cockpit shows he has)

WORKING HIS DARNDEST ON THAT REMAINING SPARE

~~ Wetaes Has Other Ideas

But Swedish Scientists Claim They

Can Keep Leaves From Falling

One feels that some earnest
thought ought to be devoted to the
subject before widespread applause
is offered to the two Swedish scien-
tists who are reported to have dis-
covered a process whereby leaves
will be prevented from falling from |
trees in autumn. They have, it is,
newly claimed from Stockholm, iso- |
lated a substance that will arrest
whatever activity it is that causes
leaves to drop off as winter ap-
proaches. But do we want leaves
that stay on all the year round?
Obviously poets and moralists do
not, for they have been writing most
feelingly for centuries about the
touching spectacle presented by the

| fluttering to the ground of autumnal

foliage. And gardeners, who value
leaf-mould most highly, would be

| distinctly irritated if the raw ma-

terial for that important aid to
horticulture remained high out of
reach on the branches where it
sprouted. And how would the new
leaves emerge in springtime if the
old ones were still congesting the
branches ?

Our existing evergreens are not a
very exciting form of decoratior.. The.
eighteenth-century Earl of Shrews-
bury who laid out most of the gard-
ens at Alton Towers with evergreen
timber only succeeded in producing
a spectacle which is more curious
than attractive. And when someone
suggested for him the tribute “He
made the desert smile,” the comment
of William Morris, who had inspect-
ed the result, was, “And a very
polite desert not to laugh outright.”
All things considered, the Swedish

scientists had better leave’ the
autumnal transformation scene to
take its usual course.—-Manchester

Had To Abandon Demand

Nazis Could Not Compel Norwegian |
Workers To Leave Country

When the Nazis recently asked |
for the transfer of from 15,000 to,
20,000 Norwegian workmen to Ger-|
many—half the country’s unemploy- |
ed—-the Norwegian Labor Federation |
compelled them to abandon their de-|
mand, it is now revealed in messages
reaching Stockholm from Oslo.

It is now known that the Nasjonal)
Samling, the German puppet gov-|
ernment headed by Quisling, accept-|
ed the proposal for such a transfer |
from Germany, but that the Nor-
wegian Labor Federation protested |
when it was learned that the workers |
would receive the same wages as the!
German workers, which are less than}
those paid in Norway.

The federation also protested
against taking the unemployed and |
insisted that only volunteers should |
be taken.

The conflict was then referred to
the German commissar for Norway, |
who ruled that the labor protest be |
accepted and the transfer made vol-
untary. |

Ir is therefore expected that very
few Norwegian workers will take ad-
vantage of this offer.

The plane is one of several breath-
taking prospects of the apparently
near future in the air, described by
|experts to the midwinter meeting in

New York of the Institute of the
Aeronautical Sciences.
The flying milkman plane is a

helicopter, called the VS-300, built
by I. I. Sikorsky, of the Vought Si-
korsky Company, United Aircraft
Corporation, It flies straight up,
stands still in air, flies backward and
has done 30 to 40 miles. straight-
away, and performed well in a 25-
mile wind,

The tests have been under way for
|nearly a year. Sikorsky told the in-
stitute the experiments have proved
that this kind of ship would solve
| the problems of landing and taking
off between buildings, between trees,

on buildings and on ships.

“There can be no doubt,” he said,
“that it opens a most important and
large new field of transportation.”

It has no wings. Its ribs are all
bare, forming a cage-like structure,
with the pilot sitting out front, in
the open air. The main
to the eye is the propeller.

This is a set of large, windmill-
like blades, set up on a post to spin
in a horizontal plane above the ship,
|to lift it straight up. At the end
| of its long tail are three small copies
of the same propeller, set both to
steer and tilt the plane. Tilting per-
|mits the great overhead propeller to

along in level flight.

Another plane, resembling a fly-
ing insect, is almost as amazing, al-

though it is only in the design stage.

It is compltely unorthodox, de-
signed to fly straight up at nearly
a mile a minute, and then to turn

over on its side and do 500 miles an
hour straightaway.

Canadians Will Respond

Must Be Prepared To Do Their Part
In The Common Effort

In a broadcast to Canadians, Right
Honourable Ernest Bevin, British
Minister of Labour and National Ser-
vices; said this:

‘It is a splendid thing to see the
men in the work shop carrying on
while the planes zoom over head,

putting their confidence in the roof: |

spotter, the fire watcher, the A.R.P.
and the forces who are protecting
them. And then week by week as
they draw their wages, helping the
war effort by buying Savings Certi-

ficates. It makes you feel proud of
them.”
Canadians do not have to be

ashamed in order to carry out to the
full their part in the common effort
to beat Hitler. It is a natural thing
to believe that the discrepancy be-
tween the monthly sum which Cana-
dians lend to the country from their
earnings at the present time, and
the amount they must lend if Can-
ada is to carry on, may be account- |
ed for by the lack of appreciation of
the grave necessity for such lending.

Mr. Bevin’s remark and the knowl- |
edge, that comrades in the British |
Isles lend far, far more per person |
than Canadians do, should help to
raise Canada’s per capita lendings |
very quickly.

| Explanations and Comments

A man planted a vineyard and pro-
| vided it with all things necessary for
the making of wine, and then “let it
j}out’ to husbandmen and went into
another country. “That is a_ pic-
turesque way of saying that we have
apparent possession, and are left
|free to act, God not being manifestly
;close to us. He stands off, as it
| were, from the creatures whom he
|has made, and gives them room to
do as they will. But all our pos-
sessions, as well as the revelation of
himself in Christ, are only let to us,
and we have rent to pay” (Alexander
|Maclaren). But when the season of
fruits came round, he sent one serv-
ant after another to collect what was
due him, but the husbandmen treat-
ed them shamefully, beating and
even wounding the last one. At last
he sent his son, saying to himself,
“It may be they will reverence him.”
“This he said, not as if they would
do so, for he knew they would not,
but pointing out what they ought to)
do.” (Euthymius, quoted by Dum-)|

another, This is the heir; let us kill

Though dictatorships of any kind

current issue of Health, published by
the Health League of’ Canada, sug-
gests that in some circumstances
such an institution might be bene-

tells what he would do if he were
Health Dictator of Canada:

“Every young man and every
young woman would receive physical
training and adequate health educa-

“Every man, woman and child in
the country would receive a complete
physical examination once a year.

“Every couple who wanted to get
married would be obliged to show a
medical certificate indicating that
they were free of contagious disease.

“Every child in the Dominion
would, before he reached the age of
six months, be obliged to have three
treatments of toxoid as a preventive
against diphtheria.

“Every man and woman who ap-
plied for a driving licence would have
to produce a certificate showing that
they had ‘been physically examined
during the year, and were fit to drive
a@ car.

“Every sufferer from tuberculosis
would be forced by law to remain
under observation until declared fit
to return among healthy people.

“Every doctor in Canada would
work just as hard to prevent sick-
ness as he does to cure it.

“Every hospital would seek to pre-
vent patients fro entering its doors
by actively co-operating in cam-
paigns to prevent illness.

“Every family would be able to
employ the services of a_ trained
nurse at a fee that was not beyond
their reach,

“Every citizen would pay a fee to
their doctor or to the state to keep
them well and to their hospitals as

|insurance against sickness.

“Every member of parliament
would be inspired to see that ade-
quate health services are available
for every Canadian and the closest
co-operation with the provinces main-
tained.

“Every man who has offered his
services to the country and been re-
jected would be placed into a “Fit-
ness Battalion,” and efforts made to
improve his health.

EFFECT OF WAR
ON DEMAND FOR
FARM PRODUCTS

Ottawa. — Canada's agricultural
difficulties are not likely to disappear
this year, Agriculture Minister Gard-
iner said in the House of Commons.

He said there was no reason to say
wheat production should be increased,
but there might be reasons for say-
ing it should be reduced.

Mr. Gardiner presented his depart-
mental estimates for the next fiscal
year amounting to $13,134,738, a
slight reduction from ¢he current
year.

Agriculture in countries producing
for export always had a difficult time
immediately preceding a war, and a
worse time immediately after a war
started. That was a matter of his-
torical record, the minister said,

In the first Great War it was not
until two years after the start be-
fore agriculture’s difficulties were
relieved.

“I have no more knowledge than
any other member when the turning
point will come,” he said, “but thé
period will probably be somewhat
longer than in the last war.”

Canada had something over 500,-
000,000 bushels of wheat in store—
at.least a two year's supply for Can-
ada, Great Britain and whatever
countries the Dominion could export
to—hbefore counting any of the wheat
to be produced this year.

While it might be advisable to cut
down wheat acreage, Mr. Gardiner
said that if this was advocated he
was not sure but that two or three
years from now someone might say
he had made a mistake.

Soon after the war began, a British
representative advised Canada not to
increase the output of hogs in antici-
pation of a probable demand from
Britain. There was no objection to
Canada increasing production but)
Briltain did not wish to be told later)

it had asked hog production be in-|
creased. |

Soon after the war started, it was
found there were more hogs in Can- |
ada than statistics had indicated. |
Deliveries to Britain were to be 291,-
000,000 pounds for the year, but fin-
ally 330,000,000 were delivered.

In the second year of the war it
was obvious Canada would have 425,-
000,000 pounds of bacon and ham|
which could be delivered without in-
terfering with the consumption in
Canada. Since the beginning of the)
new agreement to supply Britain
with 425,000,000 pounds, deliveries |
were 3,000,000 pounds a week more
than the contract called for, at a
time when Canada was eating more
pork than ever before.

Britain was taking 1,000,000 pounds
a week more than had been con-|
tracted for, and some _ 2,000,000
pounds a week were being placed in
cold storage.

No one was asking the farmer to
produce more hogs at present. He}
said it was possible a United States |
demand for Canadian hogs might
arise and there had been inquiry on)
providing more bacon and ham to)
the United Kingdom.

All surplus cattle were being sold |
in the United States. |

Canada could dispose of all the,
cheese it was likely to produce at|
the price agreed on with Britain, |
14.4 cents a pound.

Mr. Gardiner said he believed it
wise to avoid urging farmers to go)
into cheese production if they were
not already in it, but the action of |
the Ontario government in subsidiz-
ing production was a wise one since
it encouraged production in a prov-
ince that produced the bulk of Cana-
dian cheese.

Ontario farmers would now get
from 17 to 19 cents a pound and he
doubted if, over a long period of
years, this would be exceeded,

Mr. Gardiner said he did not be-
lieve there was any limit to the}
amount of normal Canadian butter
production that could be sold,

Last fall the British government
asked for 10,000,000 pounds at 21
cents and he had replied that it could
and would be supplied even if Cana-
ians had to go on rations, The price
in Canada then was 24 cents,

But when British officials learned
that export of that much butter
might bring about a reduction in
cheese production, they said they
would prefer to keep cheese produc-
tion up in Canada.

They had thereupon contracted for
all the exportable Australian and
New Zealand butter and would take,
at a price, whatever surplus Canada
could spare.

Mr. Gardiner expressed the opin-
fon butter production should be kept
at consumption level for the present
and that cheese production areas

|ping against aliens and

should concentrate on that com-
modity.

Lack Of Public Co-op Co-operation Is Seen

pe tet as expressed by Com-

operations in 1939-40, tabled in the

The commissioner said the increase
in safe-blowing could probably be
attributed to better crop conditions.
He said it “was surprising to note
that the number of occasions in which
safe-blowers have been observed at
work by local citizens who have not
notified the police until many valu-
able hours have elapsed is consider-
able.

“Until greater co-operation from
members of the general public is
forthcoming the force will have to
increase its vigilance.”

Commissioner Wood detailed police
arrangements for Canadian security
immediately before and after the
outbreak of war, telling of advice
given larger firms in the protection
of plants.

On March 31, 1940, total strength
of the force was 3,767, made up of

officers and constables, 127 special
constables and 1,215 special constable

ROYAL AIR FORCE

GERMAN TACTICS

London,—It was reported that
questions would be asked in parlia-

own tactics and start to bomb Ger-

fining itself to purely

Sir Archibald Sinclair, air minister,
said in a speech that the Royal Air
Force had inherited the slogan of the
“Hit the Germans in Ger-
many,” and that: “The people of this

blows will fall faster and harder on

The Daily Sketch aviation expert

thought that the morale of the Ger-

should attain a primary military ob
jective. But if our bombs deal Hit-
ler deadlier blows by falling on oil
refineries and invasion ports then we
should husband them for that pur-
pose.”

This seemed the answer. It was
doubted in well informed quarters
that Britain would engage in purely
terror bombing. Rather it was be-
lieved that raids on industrial and
military targets would be steadily
intensified, and that many new long

Poultry Colony House

Poultrymen And Farmers Will Find
It Has Many Uses

One of the most useful houses a
poultry keeper can possess is a
colony type house, says K. MacBean,
Dominion Experimental Sub-station,
British Columbia. This
applies not only to the farmer keep-
ing a small flock but also to the
poultryman in the business on a
larger scale.

A very valuable feature about a
colony house is the fact that it can
be used for many purposes. It may
be made available as a brooder house,
a rearing pen, laying house or breed-
ing pen.

At the Sub-station at Smithers,
B.C., a 10 x 12 colony house was
built in the fall of 1939 and put to
use the following spring. The re-
sults with this house so far have
been gratifying. In the first place
this house was used as a_ brooder
house with the necessary equipment
such as brooder stove, etc., installed
for the purpose. At the end of the
brooding period or when the chicks
were old enough to do without heat

horseshoe nails always dined at a
table set apart. The metal of the
nail must be of a consistency to wear
equally with the shoe, otherwise the

Thousands Of Nazis Building Jump-
ing-Off Bases In Holland

About 600,000 Nazi troops and
Labor Corps workers are toiling day
and night on construction of gigantic
airdromes in Holland, preparatory to
intensified air attacks on Britain, re-
liable dispatches reaching Dutch
circles disclosed.

Zeeland, which is humming with
activity, has been declared a prohib-
ited area and has been completely
isolated from the remainder of Hol-
land. Dutchmen have found it im-
possible—even when seeking to visit
their families—to obtain visiting per-
mits unless Gestapo agents are fully
satisfied with their credentials, it
was said.”

Every resident of Walcheren Is-
land has been investigated by the
Gestapo and at least 100 deported to
other provinces.

Two main line tracks and numer-
ous sidings have been added to the
railway ending at Flushing to carry
additional traffic. The railway per-
sonnel is aimost entirely German.

The reports said the runway of
the largest airdrome on Walcheren
was at least two miles long. Three
| Smaller airdromes have almost been
completed but two of them were be-
lieved damaged and equipped with
dummy planes to deceive R.A.F.
bombers.

Dozens of dredges are digging
sand from the sea to raise the level
of the lowlands and cover workshops
with mounds of earth because under-
| ground airdromes cannot be construct-
ed in the soil available. The night
work is carried out under arc lights
until raiding planes are reported.

Plans for another gigantic air-
drome on the seacoast near The
Hague have been drafted. Several
large airfields are nearing comple-
tion in western Zeeland.

Hundreds of barges sunk by the
Dutch during the German invasion
are being raised and _ re-equipped.
The shipbuilding industry is working
full blast for the Nazis.

It was also reported that the
Nazis had commandeered 20,000 of
the newest and finest private auto-
mobiles and sent them to Russia to
pay for Russian goods delivered to
Germany.

“No, Of course I wouldn't.”

She picked up the reports and
marched into the inner office, con-

room had stopped work long enough
to watch her pass through the door.

Suddenly she had become a hero-
Ine in the office, the centre of atten-

she took a comb from her purse and
began drawing it slowly through her
red-gold hair.

“For Pete's sake, what did hap-
pen?” It was Madge Fletcher who
spoke that time.

Nancy grinned. Before she spoke!

table and rushing back to the lunch-
room to get it, leaving the other
girls on their way back to the office.
Hugo was one of a group of men
lingering around the door.

She darted into the lunchroom,
picked up her handkerchief and
started back again. As she reached
the door Hugo stepped away from
the group and caught her hand in his
thick, muscular one.

“Say, Nancy. What time is our
date?”

She looked at him quickly and un-

derstood. ‘Seven o'clock tonight.”
“Seven? That’s swell.”
Even as she turned away she

caught the gleam of apprgqval in his
bright little eyes. ,

It was already 1 o’clock when she
reached the office and she began
working almost automatically,

how, she didn’t know. He would be

But there was
no turning back now.

Suddenly she glanced up at the
clock. Ten minutes to three.

She leaned across her desk and
whispered to one of the girls: “I
thought Mr. Bristow was going to
be here this afternoon.”

The girl spoke to her almost with-
out moving her fingers from the
keyboard. “He is. But it may be
late when he arrives.

Nancy frowned. She had intended
that when John Bristow arrived at
the plant she would go boldly into
his office and tell him the whole

story. Then he could take the nec-|

essary steps.

It had not occurred to her until
this minute that John Bristow might
arrive too late or might not arrive
at all.

By 3:30 she could stand it no
longer. There was a public phone
downstairs near the lunchroom; she
went down, got a slug and called
John Bristow's downtown office.

A silky-voiced secretary finally
answered the phone.

“I’m sorry. Mr. Bristow won't be
in again to-day.”

She stood for a minute wondering
what to do. Suddenly she ran to
the entrance hall, where a watch-
man sat in a tilted-up kitchen chair.

[ GEMS OF THOUGHT |

Yes, in a glass garden even the
most exotic beauties will thrive and
you can soon have a riot of them,
starting with inexpensive little
plants.

After you've put in some pebbles
for drainage and added soil, make a
tiny pebbly path to wind through
little clumps of orange-flowered lan-
tana—and all about plant the white-
veined fittonia of Peru. Set a little
pottery man on the path to watch
over them!

These, with the graceful brilliant-
leaved croton, are ideal companions,
all fond of warmth and all liking
more moisture in the air than in the
soil. Keep the terrarium covered to
give them the right humidity.
